Smith Departs.

Vice-president Smith, of the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe, departed
in his special coach for the east,
Friday night, as was announced he
would in the afternoon of that day,
by this paper. The BAzoo gave all
the information in regard to his stay
here, and the doings of the board of
trade with him as its visitor, and the
subsequent ride over the city. All
outside of what was given to the
public then is mere speculation, and
nothing positive can be known until
MIR. Smith makes his proposition to
the people, at some time in the near
future, but not yet certainly known.

Letter From q Stakeholder.

EDITOR BAzoo:
/ am a stakeholder in the Sedalia
Democrat PUBLISHING company, and
have been in the present and the old
Democrat PRINTING company for ten
or more years. The officers of the old
company never made any report to
the stockholders and it was finally sold
out by the sheriff. The new company
was formed and / again became a
stakeholder. This was about two
years ago and although l have re-
peatedly asked for statement of the
business from those in authority, the
only satisfaction | can get, is that
sits losing money and statement is
useless"
The fact is, Mr.. Editor, if / belong
to company that is losing money, ]
desire to know how fast the company
is sinking money and how long it is
going to last.
An increase of the stock of the
company was voted few months ago,
but / see no visible increase of the
assets of the concern. Do / under
stand that the stock of the Sedalis
Democrat Printing company can be
inflated indefinitely and no report OF
statement made to stockholders
There may be a State law bearing
upon this point.

Preparations for the celebration of
the Fourth of July should not be suf-
fered to lag by reason of any apathy
on the part of those who are able and
who should be willing to contribute
to the success of the affair. The ball
has been setin motion and satisfactory
progress already made toward the
event, and our people should assist all
in their power to make the nations
natal day one to be long remembered
in Sedalia and Pettis county. The
time is short, now, and action is nec-
essary if the celebration is to be the
success it should be.

perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and bsffled the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not immedi-
ately fatal it is among the most distressing,
nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh to
heir to, and the records show very few or
no cases of radical cures of chronic catarrh
BY any of the multitude of modes of treat
ment until the introduction of Ely's Cream
Balm few years ago. The success of this
preparation has been most gratifying and
surprising.

WEBSTER'S WOUNDS.
His Condition Unchanged But
His Identity Established.
AS The BaZOO Had it Friday At
ternOOn-His Friends
On the Scene.

The BAzoo Friday afternoon gave
the particulars of the finding of a
young man in the weeds alongside the
Pacific track at Muddy bridge, some
three miles west of Sedalia, the SUBJ
sequent bringing of him to Sedalia on
hand car by the section men, and
the taking of the young fellow Out to
the hospital. 1t was discovered from
a day-bOok on bis person that he was
w. B. Webster, and that he and
painter named Lee Hughes were &C
quaintances. With these clews to 60
on an investigation was set on foot by
Officer Barnett, which has resulted
satisfactorily so far as the identity of
Webster and his friends is concerned.
On one of the papers in his pockets
was the address of f. w. Weems,
Marion, Kansas. whose name was in
distinctly called by the injured man
while lying in the depot baggage
room, prior to his being taken to the
hospital. Capt. Barnett telegraphed
to DIR. Weems, and Friday night
about eight o'clock received an
answer from that gentleman to
give Webster the best of
attention and that he would
start for Sedalia Immediately.
Webster was attended to carefully
at the hospital, but lapsed into an
unconscious state, and nothing as to
his mishap could be cleaned from
that quarter.
Yesterday morning Officer Barnett
received the following dispatch from
DanvilIe, ILL.,:
"Has Weems and boy arrived? What
was the kind of accident and will he die
Answer at once.
(Signed,) Rev. w. II. WEBSTER.
This was from the young mans
father, as was afterward learned, and
Capt. Barnett telegraphed back that
the son was in a critical condition.
DR.. Weems arrived on the lilo
train yesterday from Kansas City,
and was met by Officer
Barnett, who showed him the tele-
gram received from Rev. Mr.. Web
ster. DIR. Weems said he had sent a
dispatch from Marion to Danville as
soon as he heard of young Webster's
misfortune, and the telegram to Bar
nett was the answer.
DR.. Weems, as soon as he arrived,
took a carriage and went out to the
hospital where he found his friend in
good hands, but not in a condition to
be moved. Yesterday afternoon he
made inquiries in railroad circles as to
trains snd other particulars deemed
necessary for correct understanding
of the events of the evening, which
led to Webster's hurts.
1t is not thought that anything
definite will be known in the
matter until the young man regains
consciousness. Rev. Mr.. Webster
sent a dispatch from Danville just
after noon to DIR. Weems, stating that
he would be here to-day. He will ar
rive over the M. K. 81 T. from Han
nibal this morning.
While, of course, everything must
be conjectural, it is generally believed
in certain circles that after young
Webster had parted with his two
friends, Dugan and Hughes, at the
Grand avenue crossing, he must have
got into some trouble with some of the
railroad men on the train-a freight
and fallen offin the consequent scuffle.
At a late hour last night, Web
ster was reported to be still uncon-
aoious ond In q yorv critical atota
